Chapter 72

* * *

Well, naturally.

David, who had been humiliated in front of so many people, was absolutely livid.

“Mother, are you out of your mind? Why would you lend the duchess’s necklace to Catherine?!”

“Ah, my son. I…”

Marisa couldn’t even make an excuse and floundered helplessly.

“Just what kind of daughter management does House Scofield practice?!”

“Th-that’s…”

“If your family is too incompetent to manage their children, you should have at least managed your niece properly, Mother!”

All sorts of insults and verbal abuse poured toward her maternal family.

Even so, Marisa couldn’t utter a single word in response.

Just then.

“Isabel, you too!”

David whirled around to face Isabel, his eyes blazing.

“Why did you lend her that necklace?!”

“I’m sorry.”

Isabel obediently lowered her head.

Still, since Isabel was clearly the victim in this situation.

David’s rage was mostly directed at Marisa.

Though I have no idea why he’s getting angry at Isabel, the victim, as well.

It would be difficult for me, a normal person, to perfectly understand an adulterer’s way of thinking.

And so the household was turned completely upside down.

From what I heard, Marisa had quite a hard time appeasing David…

‘Well, it’s not really my concern.’

I lowered my gaze to the letter in my hands.

It was a fresh new letter that had arrived from Judy today.

Most of it was content I already knew about.

How sad Catherine had been after ruining the charity recital, how Marisa had caught her niece like catching a mouse.

However, the content briefly added at the end of the letter was somehow suspicious.

<I'm not sure if this story will be helpful to you, Princess.

Last time, Madam and Miss Catherine talked about someone called ‘Wilson.’

Specifically, Madam expressed reluctance about needing a large sum of money to hold the recital.

Miss Catherine said it could be resolved if they asked someone named Wilson.

Also, Madam told her not to speak carelessly about such things and made her keep quiet about it.>

‘Wilson, Wilson.’

I quietly mulled over that name.

It sounded somehow familiar.

I couldn’t recall it right now, but it was a name I felt I’d heard often somewhere.

Most importantly.

‘Marisa was adamant about not mentioning that name?’

This could potentially become a weakness of Marisa and Catherine’s, couldn’t it?

Or maybe I could use it as divorce evidence.

‘I should investigate this.’

My lips curved into a pleasant arc.

“So, should I investigate House Scofield for now?”

“Ah, yes.”

I nodded hastily.

The count concluded matter-of-factly.

“Understood. I’ll contact you when the investigation is complete.”

“Please take care of it.”

After exchanging greetings.

Having stepped outside, I looked back at the closed door with mixed feelings.

‘Because the client is me… he said.’

What was that tone about?

It sounded as if I were someone very important to the count…

‘No way, that can’t be it.’

Anyone would surely call that being overly self-conscious.

Feeling my face flush for no reason, I shook my head and turned around.

* * *

After parting with Elodie.

Richard pondered the request she had entrusted to him.

‘The financial flow and scale of House Scofield.’

Honestly, until now he had no interest in House Scofield so he hadn’t known, but after receiving Elodie’s request, he found it puzzling.

As the head of a family, and as an information broker who dealt with intelligence.

He thought it would be difficult for House Scofield to execute such a large sum of money all at once.

However, aside from that question.

Even at this moment, what Richard was most interested in was actually…

‘What is the Princess planning?’

Elodie’s intentions.

What kind of scheme would she pull off this time, she who always acted unexpectedly.

What was she thinking right now.

He was truly curious about that.

‘Anyway, I’ll find out once I investigate.’

Richard rose from his seat briskly.

Also, a deep smile that he himself wasn’t aware of hung on his lips.

* * *

Well, I had put in a request with Count Disraeli.

But I wasn’t just sitting around doing nothing either.

I had Judy provide me with primary reports on all of Catherine’s schedules.

‘Catherine, anyone would think she’s the daughter of a tycoon or something.’

I furrowed my brow as I checked Judy’s correspondence.

What I was looking at now was Catherine’s usual lifestyle.

Catherine tended to move around quite busily from morning to evening.

But the places she went to…

‘Amazing, really.’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

In the morning she would stop by a luxury spa that included massage, get her makeup done at a makeup shop, and dine at the finest restaurants.

Then she would start shopping, going around various stores.

Dress shops, shoe stores, jewelry shops and so on, entering stores as she pleases and purchasing this and that.

After that, resting while drinking tea at high-end tea houses and then going to restaurants for meals.

Or returning home quite late.

‘Going around flaunting like this every day, doesn’t she get tired of it?’

No, why does she get her makeup done at the shop every single time?

It’s not like she’s attending a party.

I, who had been disgusted, soon narrowed my eyes.

‘Certainly… Catherine’s spending is really excessive.’

Even I, Princess Laventess, don’t live this luxuriously.

No matter how I look at it, it seems difficult to maintain this lifestyle with just the money David gives her……

But then.

Knock knock.

A short knock sounded.

I slightly lifted my head.

“Come in.”

As my permission was given, a middle-aged man of considerable age opened the door and entered.
